I don't want to get ahead of myself....
so I'll just whisper this...
I'M LOOKING FOR A SWEEEEEEEEP!!!

2 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 11:17 am

SHHHHHHHHHHH!

3 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:06 pm

I mean, maybe the explanation for Andy's excellence is that he had a lot of rest.

4 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:10 pm

Pfew!

I thought that was going out for sure.

5 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:10 pm

[3] Oh God, don't say that. Sabathia won't start until July.

6 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:11 pm

Nice work, Andy.

7 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:16 pm

Wow. David Wright is third in the league at .355 and Derek is sixth at .314.

One league has two guys above .355 and the other, only five guys above .314.

Is that some random thing or is it as interesting as it sounds?

8 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:24 pm

Oh, hey, it's Bobby Baccalieri!

9 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:25 pm

Damn.

10 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:28 pm

If at all possible, I don't want to be beat by Vinny Rottino.

Thanks

11 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:30 pm

OHHHH, FFS!

12 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:31 pm

Good pitch.

Strike one.

13 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:31 pm

Fucking hell.

All ground balls.

14 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:32 pm

This isn't good.

15 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:35 pm

0-2...

16 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:36 pm

Good work, Andy.

ONe more...

17 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:37 pm

Base hit by Wright here makes it a long day...

18 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:37 pm

Alright. We can do this

19 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:38 pm

Wow, Andy survives.

20 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:38 pm

Andy is a golden god.

See?

THAT is what makes Andy great.

That was it.

Bravo, Andy.

Bravo.

21 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:43 pm

Good job, Robbie.

22 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:44 pm

What in the fuck was that?

23 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:46 pm

Just a terrible play by Swish.

24 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:46 pm

Fuck, now I'm really angry.

25 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:46 pm

You know, I'd rather have Swish hit into a fucking double play rather than think he's actually, you know, smart or heady or whatever the fuck he thought he was doing that horseshit. What an ass.

26 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:48 pm

That was fucking disgraceful.

27 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 12:59 pm

Nice bounce-back for Andy.

28 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:03 pm

This is getting on my nerves.

29 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:04 pm

Let Derek rest or something.

30 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:10 pm

Nice, Andy.

31 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:19 pm

Horse shit.

32 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:21 pm

still mad at Swish.

33 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:23 pm

[32] Yes.

34 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:30 pm

Carlos Beltran paid for this guy's nose job?

What the fuck?

Jesus.

35 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:32 pm

They are totally and completely befuddled by this guy.

Completely off balance.

36 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:37 pm

Jesus, Andy.

37 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:40 pm

Ruh roh.

38 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:43 pm

Another fine start by Andy.

If only the sticks could see their way to getting him off the hook.

39 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:49 pm

Bravo, Curtis, nice hitting.

All right, you fuckers, do this for Andy!

40 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:50 pm

Dear Mark: some runs please.

41 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:51 pm

Yes, runs.

42 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:53 pm

Just hit it back up the middle, Alex. A nice, clean and easy base hit.

43 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:54 pm

Grrrr.

44 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:54 pm

Son of a bitch.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

He was standing right the fuck there.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

45 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:54 pm

42) He did. They have him played perfectly.

Drag.

46 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:58 pm

(Put us on the board, John! Put me on the Cadillac board!)

47 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:58 pm

And Andy out? It's just getting better and better.

48 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 1:59 pm

So what's this team's record when failing to hit a dinger? like 1-14 or some shit?

49 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:00 pm

(It's weird, too, how the courthouse has been replaced, more or less, by that apartment building looming out over right field.)

50 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:01 pm

[34] Did you see his 'new' nose? Hope Carlos didn't pay too much for that.

51 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:06 pm

GOD, THIS TEAM FUCKING SUCKS!

52 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:07 pm

Man... their GBs are hits, ours are DPs.
Such is the RCNB.

53 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:09 pm

He dropped it!

54 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:10 pm

Russell! Finally.

55 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:10 pm

Homerun means we are now officially permitted to win this game!

It bounced off his glove, is how it got out!

56 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:10 pm

Oh, no, it didn't!

57 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:10 pm

WOW! A HR can't get any cheaper than that!!

58 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:11 pm

How did that bounce into the stands? It looked like it hit the front of the top of the padding.

59 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:26 pm

Wow!

How about that Derek Jeter, huh?

60 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:26 pm

I'll take it. Short double.

61 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:27 pm

Does ANYONE have better Karma on ground balls than Jeter? Amazing!

62 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:27 pm

No bunting.

63 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:27 pm

Oh No! RISP time. Maybe Jeter should have stayed on first....

64 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:29 pm

Another beautiful opposite field line drive for Curtis.

I like that a lot.

A lot.

65 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:30 pm

Ball one...

66 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:30 pm

DON'T fucking strike out, Teix.

67 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:31 pm

THROUGH!

Tied up!

68 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:31 pm

A hit with RISP? We're allowed to do that?

69 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:31 pm

I don't want to get ahead of myself....
so I'll just whisper this...
I'M LOOKING FOR A SWEEEEEEEEP!!!

70 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:31 pm

Nice job, Mark. Didn't try to do too much. C'mon Alex. A ball to the outfield. GET IT IN THE SKY.

71 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:32 pm

Late on the heater.

72 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:32 pm

ARod is mssing soooooo many good pitches...

73 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:33 pm

A Rod is going to whiff now.

74 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:35 pm

It fell, it fell!

75 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:35 pm

RBI MAN!

76 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:35 pm

MAN THAT WAS A BOMB!

77 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:35 pm

What poise, what power...what LUCK!

78 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:35 pm

Look like a line drive in the box score.

79 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:36 pm

You never know what could happen if you just put the motherfucker in play.

80 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:38 pm

What happened to the YES feed?

81 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:39 pm

We need some insurance!

82 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:41 pm

And we're back. No bunting, Nick.

83 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:43 pm
84 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:45 pm

Scratch that, Ibanez steps in.

85 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:47 pm

Without insurance.

86 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:47 pm

Here comes Sori's first blown save.

87 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:49 pm

TB looks like a Win today.
O's and Sox both tied late in their games.

88 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:51 pm

SHIT!

Curtis misplayed that.

89 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:51 pm

Crap.

90 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:51 pm

I don't know that anyone would have had that but fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

91 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:53 pm

[86] Fuck you, Alex.

92 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:53 pm

[86] Prophetic.

93 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:53 pm

91) Blame Old Yank Fan. He cursed the game from the get go.

94 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:53 pm

[86] Not that I didn't share your apprehension but man, talk about a HEX!

95 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:53 pm

[93] Laughing.

Indeed.

96 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:55 pm

WOW!

For real?

97 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:56 pm

[93] BUT SORIANO SHOULDN'T BE READING THIS BLOG!

98 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:57 pm

Nix may have just saved the game...

99 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 2:59 pm

OH, for FUCK'S sake.

100 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:00 pm

Yanks ain't winning this one.

Remember that time Mo was taken out?

Like two years ago, maybe?

Against...Baltimore?

102 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:02 pm

Ballsey move by Girardi.

103 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:03 pm

I'd like to order a double play here.

104 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:04 pm

After ARod's Bomb, we had 1st and 2nd, no out. Everytime they blow a situation like that in the 8th, I'm always afraid of the 9th.

105 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:04 pm

[104] Yes.

106 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:05 pm

Offspeed please.

107 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:06 pm

Even slower please...

108 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:06 pm

Good.

109 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:06 pm

Crossed his front knee.

110 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:09 pm

Robbie!

111 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:09 pm

Fuck my pessimissim. OYF is right. Get the pie ready. Time for a walk off win.

112 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:09 pm

So what's this thing going to go, fifteen?

113 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:11 pm

[111] THANK GOD Boone Logan doesn't read this Blog!

114 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:12 pm

WOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT!

115 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:13 pm

YEAH!!!!!

116 rbj   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:13 pm

Walk-off!

117 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:13 pm

PIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

118 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:13 pm

113) You da man. You called it. Me of little faith!

119 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:13 pm

I'M LOOKING FOR A SWEEEEEEEEP!!!

120 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:13 pm

THUUUUUUUUUH Yankees WIN!

121 RIYank   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:14 pm

RUSSELL WITH THE MUSCLE!

122 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:15 pm

(I miss Kim.)

123 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:15 pm

(Nothing against Meredith.)

124 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:16 pm

It's incredible more guys aren't injured by that dog pile scrum.

Russel nearly twisted his ankle stepping on the plate.

125 RIYank   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:17 pm

I know, Kim. Esp. when there's water being poured all over the place...

But no pie! Huh.

126 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:17 pm

Had a feeling the bottom of the ninth wasn't going to last very long.

127 OldYanksFan   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:17 pm

[124] Really. I wish they'ld make a rule that players can't be on the field until after the batter touches Hpome Plate.

128 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:18 pm

That was so satisfying.

129 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:21 pm

[128] It was. It was a nice balance of power and contact.

130 RIYank   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:22 pm

[128] It was.
Soriano was 9-for-9, but was anyone feeling confident when he took the mound? Man. Good for Boone, by the way. (And Rob, of course, for making that play.)

131 RIYank   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:23 pm

In Fenway, Bryce Harper just scored the go-ahead run as Ace gave up a triple. Well, it was a double but they tried to throw out Bryce at home and the batter went to third.

4-3 Nats as they go to the bottom of the ninth.

132 Mattpat11   ~  Jun 10, 2012 3:26 pm

[130] *raises hand*

I mean not like completely calm, but I assume he'll eventually get the save in a Wettelandy manner
